    Ugh, I just found out that student section tickets are in current Bruin Cards (IDs). In the past, students could just hand off their ticket to other students/alum (say, during finals week or winter break), but no more.

    Sigh...Pat Cowan to start on Saturday for UCLA. It's like Karl Dorrell is acting like his job isn't on the line...I sure hope it is. :( Sorry Michigan/Florida fans!

    Good stuff, Chris. Thanks! A lot of credit goes to Rosario for fixing Mark Pawelek's mechanics after Mark ended up in the Boise pen and when he started again, he was doing much better. Nice to see Rosario follow Pawelek up a level. Supposedly Jeff Samardzija also had nice words for Rosario.

    I can't endorse any deal in which Patterson is traded. And yes, I know Kendrick is a better prospect than him. I'm just stubborn. I really don't get the lust over Patterson. He's far from an untouchable. Because, he came in as an 8th round draft pick and I was the most excited about it at the time, and a lot of people doubt him but he has succeeded along the way so far. It's like when you have a favorite band and they're pretty obscure, and then they start to make it big - you feel like you discovered them. What can I say, I'm just liked the kid from when he was drafted, thought he'd be a real solid major leaguer for the Cubs, and I'm still hoping it happens. Ehh, you should check out the draft day thread back in 04. There were a few people (me included) who were pissed that the Cubs were passing on him in, like, round 6.

    Yeah. I'm not a fan of an offense with 3 major weak spots (Izturis, Pie, pitcher).
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    :shrug: I think some people put too much credence into the minor leaguers' stats in Latin American winter leagues (esp. those in the DR and Venzeuela) where the primary objective is to win and not to develop these kids.

    Sweet, Scott Brosius and Dante Bichette!

    Got 3" at Big Bear and Mtn High yesterday. :) Mtn High actually opened today...by Thursday, I predict it will be all slush and rocks. Debating between Mammoth and Tahoe in January.

    UCLA goes to 5-0 as they beat Cal State Long Beach 88-58. Looked real sloppy in the first half, but took control in the second half for the blow out at Pauley. Josh Shipp with career-high 24 points, Darren Collison with a career-high 9 steals (2 shy of Tyus Edney's school record of 11 in 1994). :)

    NSBB is just like elementary school!

    Still no word on who will start at QB for UCLA. I'm sure Pete Carroll is completely fooled by this Bill Belichick-like strategic move from Karl Dorrell. :roll:

    Sounds like it's official that the Emerald Bowl will be Florida State vs. UCLA.

    Pie has made strides. I think Patterson is much closer to his ceiling than Pie is right now - the question is will Pie get to his ceiling or not? I am not convinced Patterson is a better player right now but I think he is probably slightly less likely to collapse in the majors than Pie. As far as I know I think both are potential leadoff hitters. Does this mean in a couple of years Soriano gets moved to 5 spot? Pie definitely isn't a leadoff hitter. Unlike that Alfonso Soriano guy. I see you ditched the last name. Stalkers? Ditched the middle initial too. Can't give out too much information.

    Is Truffle willing to give her up? hell no. not negotiable. I'll offer up Giorgia Palmas, but you'll have to throw in a hottie to be named later. You're not saving your lady for the likes of Miguel Cabrera?

    Is Miami really that bad (no offense, Jon and contable)? Would losses to Buffalo and Cleveland St. answer your question? Wow.
